31je (Enterprise. OREGON CITY, THURSDAY, AIG. U, IS77. Let There be Harinony. The Democracy of Oregon are actively preparing for the next campaign, and they are settling their little troubles to present a solid front against the Repub licans. They have but slight hope of success if the Republican party is unit ed and goes into the contest with good men and a bold expression of its princi ples. But -we fear that some of our Republican exchanges, instead of try ing to beal the differences existing, are widening the breach, and thereby en hancing the prospects of the Democracy. There is every reason to Irelieve that Oregon is Republican on a fair and united vote, but we may give the State again to the Democrats if we do not act together. There is no reason for any Republi can to create discord within the party There is but one honest course to be taken which will lead to success. All personal differences must be disregard ed and set aside: the convention must be free from manipulations and cliques, and represent the honest sentiment of the Republicans. A ticket thus placed in the field should be the will of the party and receive its hearty and undi vided support. Personalities have no business in the contest. The party is not ajlace for the settlement of purely personal grievances, and that seems to be creating the only danger to Repnbli 3 can success next June. There is no need of the party standing sponser for this or that faction, but let all discordant elements be set aside and the good of tbe State and party alone considered. "We know that there is no good reason why Oregon should not go largely Re publican. But if the papers which should be working for harmony in the party will persist in their course to cre ate hard feelings, and forcing their per sonal grievance s into the convention, we may expect a recurrence of former defeats. Let the Republican papers go to work for one object, not to punish personal enemies within the party, but for the success of Republican princi ples. Let tbe people put forth the leaders, and then let the press come up actively to their support. In this way success is insured. Discord and per sonal bickerings will defeat the party. Tfow is the time to settle personal griev ances, and let us close up the ranks for a strong fight next year. Lot the party honor those it sees fit. The choice of an editor is only, as a general thing, bis own, which should go no further than the wish of any other member of the party. The press has no right to be used as a weapon to fight personal battles, and we call upon the Republi cans of Oregon to cease their warfare upon each other. If wo want to win the fight next June, we must do so by a combined war on the opponents 01 our party. Division, discord aud personal revenge win ueieat us, while a pledge to submit to the action of the people will crown us with a glorious victory Ui course there will be a contest for the TJ. S. Senator. This we expect. Let the Republicans in each county put forth good honest and reliable men for the Legislature. Let them make the choice after they are elected. There is no good reason why they should be packed down with a pledge for or against any man. Let them be elected, and when they meet in the Legislature, make a selection from the many able men in the party for the position. We Are not the instrument for any man. We desire to see Republican success. And we know this cannot be obtained unless we act together and iu harmony. Xiet our party friends look seriously at this matter and ask themselves if the time has not come when we should dis card personalities and go to work with a determination to defeat our common enemy. XGoodroricyr In years past the shippers and specu lators did not dare to enter the market to purchase the products of the State on account of the nuscttled rates of transportation. The various transpor tation lines through the Willamette Talley this year adopted a new plan which seems to meet the approval of shippers. They advertised to enter into n agreement to charge so much for freight for the year, thus enabling every shipper to make his calculation when he enters the market. This is a good idea, and the speculator is not called g upon to deduct a certain allowance for a prospective rise in freight, which takes away one of the greatest obstacles heretofore to contend against. Before our freight tariffs have been so unrelia ble that speculators and shipjers have always been compelled to calculate on a large margin for increase, and hence have deducted this margin from the purchase price. While this benefits the G shipper, it is equally beneficial to the producer, as it will give him the fall value of his products. The Pittsburg (Pa.) Commercial says, pathetically, that to put the entire loss of the recent riots there upon Alle ghany county would bankrupt it, and would also be inequitable, as the causes which produced the trouble were general and widespread rather than local. The Commercial's notion s that, as the State authorities man aged the affair, the State should pay IUCJ U1U8. The Sentinel says tbe tide of immigra tion is steadily pouring into Union Co. 3 from all the Western States. "S, 1 J The Result in Maine. In the Republican State Convention of Iowa no declaration was made for or against what is known as the President's Southern policy. The efforts which the President was making to give effect to the platform., upon which he was elected as respects reform iu the civil service, remarks an exchange, were like wise passed by in silence. But the Iowa State Convention met at a time when the political mind was in ferment in consequence of having been con fronted with its own frequently reiter ated propositions on the subject of re form. The' order of the President directing all officials belonging to tbe Federal Government to retir from committees and conventions, bad jast beea promulgated. Iowa, whieh may regarded as a State in which the Post master is a ruling power, resented the interference and remained silent. The next Republican State Conven tion that was held was that of Ohio the State from which the President hails. If an indorsement of his policy and the general course of his adminis ration could have been prevented there, bis opponents would have achieved a substantial victory. There was a leader of some prominence also ready to hand, in the person of B. P. Wade, who, with great vehemence and profanity, had been debouncing the President's policy though he has not yet taken the trouble to define clearly what it is. But the Ohio Convention, without any besi tation or serious internal contact, ap proved in the most direct language all that the President had done for the purpose of restoring peace to the conn try and introducing business principles into the management of the general af fairs of the nation. It was impossible that the platform ou these subjects could have been more clearly cut, more positive or more emphatic. In this condition of things the Re publican State Convention of Maine was invested with more than ordinary interest. Mr. Ulame has takes no pains to conceal the fact that be is any thins but pleased at the course of tha administration in regard to the South. lie was never very conspicuous as a re former of the civil service or anything else. It could not be "expected that he should feel very much elated at what had been done by the President in that behalf. But h has prudently kept silent on that branch of the subject. llis dissatisfaction presumably arises out of the withdrawal of Federal bay onets as props to State governments. In company with Chamberlain, lute Uovernor of ?outri Uarolina, he ven tilated the subject very thoroughly at the gathering at Woodstock ou the last Fourth of July contrived by Bowen of the Independent. But for all that he has not been able to carry his State with him. The Administration was neither endorsed nor repudiated in Maine. Mr. Blaine was forced to take the floor to advocate the policy of non- committalism. It may bo safely assumed that if this State could not be forced to take up a position of hostility to the Administra tion there will be little chance or com mitting any other to that line of action. The Camerons of .Pennsylvania are somewhat disaffected. They are poli ticians of a type who would not be like ly to be ardent supporters of an admin istration which is endeavoring to purify the olhcial atmosphere. lint they will hardly venturo upon open war, for pru dential reasons. Conkling has not de clared himself. The fact that he has remained silent is proof that he is not holly satisfied. lis is like Blaine in one particular he has never espoused the cause of civil service reform with any enthusiasm. B it he is not strong enough to force Jew York into opnosi tion to the Admmist-ution. If Blaine could not handle Maine as he wished, Conkling can do little with JJew York, wheie there are so runny other Repub- lcan leaders ready to take advauuit) of any mistake which he may commit. Oregon's Exports. It is estimated by good authority that the three principal articles of Oregon's exports, wheat, salmon and wool, (and wheat is only estimated at 150,000 tons, which will probably be 200,000), will bring into the State 9,000,000. This amount of export is the product of a population of not to exceed 75.000 person, men, women and children we ieneve mere is no atate in the Union that can boast of an equal amount to the same population. Our products ara rapidly increasing, and Oregon is at no distant day destined to be the wealthiest State, not only of the great North-west, but of the en tire nation. C'ultiTatiou of Hops. The hop interests of this State and Washington Territory are fast becom ing one of our chief products. The Oregon Board of Trade says, in regard to this industry: We have lately added hops as a new export from Oregon to Austrailia and Great Britain. Its quality has been tested and found equal to that produced in England; and from the reports which our merchants receive from San Fran cisco and Great -Britain, Oregon hops bid fair at no distant day to assume some prominence and value among our various exports. Like wheat, there is a large market in England for hops; but the price fluctuates considerably, which is the only drawback to the extension of this industry. At least three credible citizens and Republicans have told us that W. H. Scott said that under certain contingen cies he will support the Democrats in the next election; and as those contin gencies are inevitable, we may expect to see nim - go ueauiongover the fence in a very short time. Bee. r,s".:,.-.V;v nSK-i-.-. regon's Wool Interests. Froir rom the report of the Secretary and President of tho Board of Trade of Port land, which has just been published, we learn that this year's wool crop shows an increase of one fourth over last year. It is an article of exportation for which Eastern and Western Oregon I are well adapted. Nothing adds more to a State than its capacity to grow ex port commodities. The report says that "Australia and New Zealand runk as the largest producers of wool in the world, and owe their greatness as British col onies entirely to the success they have attained in growing this staple com peting even in the United States mar kets with a protective tariff equal to SO per eeat.on present prices against them, with our home grown wools. Vr hava ben fortunate in securing, this year, a number of Australian wool growers to our eastern ranges men of capital and experience, who have been attracted to our State, they say, in the belief that Oregon will eventually become a great ool growing country." . This industry baa been successfully carried on by large sheep raisers in Eastern Oregon, who find it very profitable because they can move their wool much cheaper than wheat. This staple commodity will eventually form one of ourchief exports, and we should have the factories here to consume the bulk of it, and thus realise to our State the advantage to be derived in reducing raw material to the smallest possible compass for shipment. Wool is already one of Oregon's most valuable exports, and is fast increasing. Yisiting Coos Bay. Mr. Editor: We had a very pleas ant and pleasing trip from Oregon City to Roseburg, which is a nice little town located among a thousand hills. We spent one week in climbing those beau tiful hills and catching the mountain trout from the clear cold waters of the TJmpqna. From Roseburg to Coos City is sixty miles, which we have to travel by stage. We found tba roads very rough, yet there were many grand and beautiful sceneries, and our little party enjoyed it hucelv. We went on the steamer Myrtle from Coos City to Marsh field and Empire City. Empire is the county seat of Coos county, located on the soath side of the Bay. I shall ever remember the county clerk, Mr. Jackson, for showing us to the court room, from which place we could see out upon tho old ocean, and see the beautiful ship as thoy passed. Oh, I could love the man who wrote "A Life on the Ocean Wave." We got some shells from the beach, saw the wild deer of the moun tains, and had a verv pleasant trip Upon tho -whole, J think Coos .Lay a nico placb to live. Jlus. . A. Liswis. The Wheat Supply. Tho harvesting of thellnngarian wheat crop was commenced the hrst week in July and the cereal was badly rusted, to gether with small stocks and limited supply, caused an advance. Austrailia has much less surplus wheat than in 1875 crop, but her new crop will be harvested in December or January next, but it promises a small surplus for export. The prevailing and threatening famine in several important provinces of India will probably diminish the export of wheat from that country. France annually imports 16,6-11,072 bushels of wheat, mainly from Russia; but as tbe Dannbian and Black Sea ports will be closed, she wil! bo corn- lulled to look elsewhere for her sup plies. Some of the Russian product may come out via the Baltic ports. It is now estimated that California will bavs no more than 150,000 tons surplus of wheat for export from the crop jnst harvested against 600,000 tons from the crop of 1876. The crop of wheat in tbe United Kingdom promises to be under an aver age. Great Britiau has usually i ed from Russia about 20,000,000 to 22, 000,000 bushels of wheat and other countries of northwestern Europe rath er more than 25,000,000 bushels, as the average exports from Russia for ten years have leen about 49,000,000 bushels. The supply of wheat in the United Kingdom for the eight weeks ending July 14, 1877, shows a deficiency under consumption G0,7 qrs., and tbe sup ply was 18u,u47 qrs. more than for the same time in 1876. The average weekly consumption of corn, m the United Kingdom, in lob, was 1,390.730 bushels. In the south of France tho wheat crop will le deficient in quantity. Sam ples marketed were without color and shriveled with the heat. The grain was also light and lean in flour product. Holland and Belgium usually import from ten to twelve million bushels of wheat, and the United Kingdom has for the last five years imported of foreicrn wheat and flour from 80 million to 104 million bushels. It is probable Hol land, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Switzerland, Italy and Germany will require to import from 140 to 150 mil lion bushels of foreign wheat to supple ment their own crops. All the coun tries outside of Russia and Turkey have never exported so large an amount of wheat. Will the total requirements of Great Britain, Franoe, Belgium, Hol land, Switzerland. Italy and Germany be fully an aver;ice nnalirv. and ran w - -l -J J , America, including Oregon and Califor nia, Northern Russia. Germany. Alereria. Spain, Egypt, Turkey, Chili, Australia, and British India have a sufficient sur plus to export 140 to 150 million bush els of wlieat? With Russia left out, these countries have never exported in ine aggregate in any year so large an mount of wheat, and with a small crop in California, Algeria no surplus, poor crop prospects in Australia, a small sur plus from Spain, a famino in British India, what are the probable capabili ties of these countries to supply a snr- pus or ioti.uuu.uuu bushels of wheat for export ? The war may be suddenly ter minated by peace.but with peace South eastern Europe would not probably re cover irom the effects of the war so as to make the usual average export. 2f. Y. Produce Exchange, COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Telegraphic News. Eastern. . Washington, Aug. 16. A dispatch from the U. S. Minister to Greece as serts that the United States can now and henceforth control to a large ex tent tho grain markets of Europe. He says Russia has been our only competi tor in this trade, and under the most favorable circumstances for Enssia the United States has had a great advantage of that cereal producing country. An ticipating the future course of this trade British capitalists are now building six of the largest size iron vessels for transportation. New York, Aug. 20. The TFWtZsays Morton is a very sick man, if not is pos itive peril. He taxed his physical pow ers unduly in his late trip to the Pacific coast, especially in the matter of eating a soft shell crab salad, partaken of at Ben nolladay's, being a dish that brought on paralysis in his left arm and side. He has hereditary te dency to paralysis. His father and uncle died of it. Warhtsgto, Aug. 20. The imperial government of China has issued an edict against the use of opium, declar ing its use was bringing destruction upon the Chinese people. In addition to th home production, opium is im ported into China to the annual value of over $40,000,000, principally from Britisii India. New Yokk, Aug. 20. The Times Chicago sxecial says: Dispatches, which have been received at Sheridan's head quarters during the past few days from various military sources in the far western country, leave no doubt what ever that Joseph, with his band of ez Perces, is making his way eastward. It is eyed the "ntention of the chief is to make an attempt to strike the head waters f Tongue river throngh Yellow stone l'arfc. fco Hilly convinced is Sheridan that this is his intention that he has sent orders to commanders of posts along the Little Horn and Tongue rivers to keep a sharp lookout for the hostiles and give them a warm recep tion if they show themselves. For this purpose the troops in that region will uc concentrated. There are at thes posts several hundred men of the 21t infantry, and if it is found necessary lo use a larger force several companies uill be taken from two or three of the nearest aorthern posts. Scouts have been diss ;.!.!. ed in every direction to gather information of the approach of the tz Perces. In view of this chail0e in the theater of war, there is no little alarm felt at headquarters for the safety of Gen. Sherman, who is supposed to be iu the Yellowstone Park. Ho has only 'five meu with him as an escort The squad is well armed, however, and might worry Joseph and his men fear fully if the two companies should hap pen to come together. The military which have been stationed m tins citv for tho past month are being sent buck to the west as fast as possible. Foreign. RrriTAREST, Aug. 21. Tiie Russian staff in its recent deliberations favored immediate and vigorous resumption of operations, and was of the opinion no point should he voluntarily evacuated. -new lOBS, Aug. -Zl. I he Herald t correspondent wii-n me inrkisii army in .bulgaria telegraphs that a junction has been effected bv all the forces under Mehmet Ali und Suleiniiiu Pasha at Slar'arger. The Turkish command Las resolved to offer battle to the Rus slaus. Grand Duke Nicholas has as sumed personal command of the Rus sian forces, and altogether there will be over 210, t '00 u. it engaged. It has been tho practice of agents for the sale of sewing machines, musical in struments and goods of that character, lo sell goods on time and deliver their: to the purchaser, yet claiming technical possession until paid for. In a decision recently made in the Supreme Court of t ie United States in a case from Illinois, involving a locomotive engine, the Court affirmed that the policy of the law of Illinois would not permit the owner of personal property to sell it, either abso lutely or conditionally, and still con tinue in possession of it; and that secret liens which treat the vendor of personal property, who has sold it and delivered possession of it to tbe purchaser, as the owner, until the payment of the pur chase money, cannot be maintained in Illinois. They are fraudulent as to creditors. We suspect that this is good law in any of tho States; and that the alternative of the sale of property in the way specified above, namely, of taking forcible possession by the vendor after delivery upon the assumption that he has always retained possession in case the payments are not made as per agree ment, cannot be maintained. Another case has recently been de cided in one of the New York courts in which the agent had sold a sewing ma chine on what is known as a lease; and, having taken back the machine for fail ure of payment, the vendee sued for the amount paid and the court awarded judgment for the amount with interest. Grasshoppers. WiLiiOW Creek, August 11, 1877. Editob Entekprise Dear Sir: We, of Eastern Oregon, are in the midst of harvest, most of the hay and grain hav ing been cut down.

Indeed scientific skill cannot go beyond the result reached in these wonderful preparations. Added to Carbolic, Arnica, Mentha, iSeneca-Oil and Witch-Hazel, are other ingredients, which makes a family liniment that defies rivalrr. Rheumatic and bed-ridden cripples have by "it been enabled to throw away their crutches, and many who for years been afflicted with a Neuralgia, Sciatica, Caked Breast, Weak Backs, ac, have found permanent relief. Mr. Josiah Westlake, of Marysville, Ohio writes : 9 "For years my rheumatism has been so bad that I have been unable to stir from the houa. I have tried every remedy I could hear t. Finally I learned of the Centaur Liniment. The first three bottles enabled me to walk without my crutcnes. lam mending rapidly I think your IJniment simply a marvel." This Liniment cures Burns and Scalds with out a scar, extracts the poison from bites and stings. Cures Chillblains and Frosted-feet, and is very efficacious for Ear-ache, Tooth ache, Itch and cutaneous eruptions. The Centanr Liniment, Yellow Wrap per, is intended for the tough fibres, cords ami muscles of horses, mules and animal. READ! READ! Rev. Geo. W. Ferris, Manorkill, Schoharie county, N. Y., says: "My horse was lame for a year with a fet lock wrench. All remedies utterly failed to. cure, and I considered him worthless, until I commenced to use Centaur Liniment, which rapidly cured him. I heartily recommend it." It makes very little difference whether the case be "wrench," sprain, spavin or lameness of any kind, the effects are the same. The great power of the Liniment is.however.shown in Poll-evil, Big-head, sweeny. Spavin, Ring--bone. Galls and Scratches. This Liniment Is worth millions of dollars yearly to the stock growers.

AV. NOBLE, Proprietor. Oregon City, July 26, 1877-tf. CANCER CAN BE CURED. Cancer has from time immemorial been a great scourge to the human race, and is now becoming the greater. For many years it has been held by the medical profession, and gen erally believed by tbe jeople, that Cancer is incurable; that once its roots take hold upon a victim, there is no chance for a sufferer to escape a lingering and terrible death ; a death surrounded by all that is disgusting and hor rible, not only to the sufferer, but to bis friends. Happily this fell destroyer need ao longer be feared. Dr. H. T. Bond, of Phila delphia, a well known physician, of la rpe ex perience, has for four years devoted himself to the special study and treatment of Cancer, and the result of his experience Is his dis covery f,r the radical cure of Cancer, without the use of either knife, caustic or plasters, and without pain. The majority of persons are greatly deceived in regard to the first symptoms and appear ance of this most dreaded disease, considering it painful from the commencement. This is a sad mistake, carrying thousands to an un timely grave. In most cases there is little or no pain until the disease is far advanced. The only symptoms for many months, and even for years, are occasicnally a stingine, darting, stabbing, shooting, smarting, itch ing, burning, crawling or creeping sensation, and some cases not any or these. If a malady is growing worse instead of better, it is conclusive evidence it is of a malignant character, and demands imme diate attention. If you have a branny scaly, warty appearance, with an occasional break' ing out of these upon the face,-lip or nose, or any other portion of the skin, attended with any of the above symptoms, oi a sensation of a fly being on it, or a hair tickling it, is cer tain evidence it is Cancer, and there should be no delay in using Dr. Bond's treatment. Life Is too valuable to be tampered with. Dr. Bond's treatment consists of an "Anti dote" that is applied locally : this at once ar, rests the growth of the Cancer, and by cbemK cal action neutralizes its malignity, render ing it harmless and changing it to a simple sore, which nature, assisted by constitutional remedies, soon heals (when the skin is un broken, and t he Cancer is a hard tumor, the Antidote does not make an open sore, but re rnovs It bv absorption'- In connection with the Antidote is used the Specific, taken in. ternallv. This tones up the general health, strengthens the patient, purifies the blood, and eliminates the poison from the system . Dr. Bond's Antidote contains neither caustio nor poison, and can be applied to the moat delicate tissues of the body without Injury and therefore is the only remedy that can be used in internal Cancer, such as cancer of the stomach, cancer of the womb, etc. Dr. Bond remedies, with full directions for successfu; treatment will be sent to any part of th world.
